    Wait staff was attentive to our table until we were served our food and then had to continually request water refill. However management checked in more than once which was appreciated. Food was delicious.

    I hadn't been here in over 20 years and was shocked to see the kitchen speed hasn't improved. When we entered there were 2 other tables. A large group arrived after us, but got their orders in just before us, dealing our food by an hour. The servers were helpful with updates and refills, but I remembered, when asked, about the kitchen being very slow. The food was good, but not worth an hour wait.

    We went to Slate Street at 5:30 to make a concert at the Kiva at 7:30. They were so understaffed, we had to flag our server down for everything. He said someone called in and he had all the tables. We asked him to bring our check at the same time he brought our meals so we could make the concert. If we did not have somewhere to be, we might not have minded a leisurely meal. Watching the clock put a damper on our meal. Aside from that, all of our dinners were excellent. Great food and nice quantity of food.

    Arrived early for a reservation of four. Waiter sat us and removed the “extra” place settings even though the reservation was for four. We subsequently had to ask for it even after the other guests arrived and sat awhile. I asked the waiter if we could do separate checks. He said yes, but, then the manager came over and asked if it was one check or two. The waiter never communicated this information. My friend ordered a glass of white wine. We had to flag the waiter down as he forgot to bring it. My other friend ordered medium rare salmon. It came well-done and had to be sent back. While it came out correctly, it took so long that two of us had already finished our meals. We were celebrating two birthdays. The celebration lacked being festive because of these glitches.

    Honestly, I had really high hopes. My wife and I love SixtySix Acres so we were excited to try Slate Street. Problem was, the food was really, really, really bland!!! My southern chicken was slathered in a flavorless gravy that had the texture of cornstarch added to water and not much flavor beyond that. The chicken itself was cooked well but was, my to my chagrin, even less flavorful. The mashed potatoes and green beans were good but the whole thing was not worth it. I would have been unhappy if it were $8 but it was $22. Andy my wife's ramen had flavor but nearly half the bowl was bamboo shoots! It just wasn't worth it either. I do not expect to return nor would I recommend it to anyone. I hope Sixty Six Acres stays good but Slate Street was NOT

    I like Slate Street, but they sat me upstairs for Valentine’s Day. There were bright spot lights and it get like I was sitting in a coffee shop. Very slow service, nice waitstaff though.

    My partner absolutely loved her Fillet Mignon, and that would probably be the best bet if you're a carnivore/omnivore. Me, I tried the Bison ribeye, which though it was billed as quite lean, was quite fatty on its edge, and annoyingly that fact was hidden by the very heavy, overly sweet dark glaze slathered over it. It was serviceable but a bit of a disappointment, especially since the only other meats were the abovementioned Fillet and some chicken. Beef ribeye experiences at this restaurant in the past were much better and I'd encourage the kitchen to go back to beef when it comes to ribeyes. As always the restaurant had a great wine list, and has a nice number of half bottles (such as our appetizer Cava) and other bottles on sale. I know of only a handful of places that have both Ridge and Turley Zinfandels on their list like Slate does, though I chose a glass of the Seghesio Angela's Table, which was an excellent choice. Service was excellent and the bruschetta, as always, is a good way to start and share a meal.
